How to Make Your Rooms Look Larger in Order to Sell

Most of the time, bigger is better, and that's not just in Texas. More square footage means more space, privacy and room for more family - more stuff. Here are a few ways to make it seem like there is just a little more of it - space that is.

Use vertical instead of horizontal elements. Tall bookcases and a floor lamp will raise the eye up.

Paint the walls and ceiling different shades of the same color (preferably light). Make the ceiling lighter than the wall color (avoid pure white) but add a darker floor and trim.

Let natural light in by minimizing window treatments. Extend the rods beyond the width of the window so the entire window is visible.
